Hey guys, looking to get advice on the best online book out there. I am +1800 on the year, and my small time bookie (text and phone call to get lines and make picks) cut me off. I'd really like to find someone who has the website and all, but doubt I would openly trust a stranger without someone I know knowing them. I guess my only option is an online book. Which site have you had the best experience with? The two main interests I have are quick and easy payouts, and lines early in the week. Thanks in advance!
My big play tonight is Houston -21 and TTU u86

If you're in the U.S. 5dimes and Bovada best choices, wouldn't trust many of the other books with actually paying out.
5dimes gives the better lines and earlier in the week, but payouts can be a bit more difficult (not that they don't pay but that it may involve a trip to the Western Union with a cut from the payout).
Bovada doesn't give good lines and it's generally later in the week, but you get one free payout on the month, no issues.
Pick your poison really so far as U.S. players go imo.

Thanks man, I am in the US. From all the research I've done, this seems to be the trend. Easy payouts = late lines. Early lines = headache to get paid.

Bookmaker is the best book available to US players from a financial stability standpoint. Good luck dealing with Tony at 5Dimes if you start winning some serious money and want to withdraw

that's a good run however bookie must be a light weight since not really....Google sportsbook review com which will take you to the site by the same name..it verifies the top 4 as heritage, 5 dimes, bol, and bookmaker as the 4 best A+ rated...and can verify through experience as some others have mentioned it's true....also provides good background on company, sign up and other bonuses, limits, etc., GL

Ugh.. nowadays with the internet and modern technology anyone can do a little research and beat the books. I had a player when I was 19 and a small time bookie. Back in the days we did not have the internet. We would first meet for initial $50-500 deposits and then I would give him a credit line of up to $500. He turned a $20 bet into $2000+ and I cut him off.
I also crushed my street bookie when I was 20-21. He cut me off after a 5K run. It took him a while to pay me as well.
Then while playing, I decided to take some small time action about 4 years ago with some friends. One guy would routinely go on 10-0 and 9-1 runs betting ML favorites. Favorites that were anywhere from -150 to -650. He would hit 10 in a row routinely. But he would also make stupid chase plays in-game, laying -115 and -120 juices. So I kept him around.
One day he turned a $100 balance into $23,000+ betting only favorite ML parlays. He broke me. I was hoping he would go degen mode betting thousands at a time. But no. Next text I got from him:
9-team parlay.
For $40.
I told him to fukk off . Paid him in installments and that was the last I ever took any action.
I just don't get it. You only need to be right 53.5% of the time to beat the books.
You only need to know basic Blackjack strategy for the house edge to be 0.5% and know a bit about cluster-card-counting to shave the house edge to zero or even 1-2% in your favor.
Sure you will have the occasional welfare food stamp $10 betting lady who will always stand on 16 and always stand on 12 vs dealer's 2 and 3 and always take insurance/even money, not double down 11, not split 8's, not hit A7 vs dealer's 9, 10, A, etc. But anyone with real money won't put it on the line unless the odds are tilted in their favor.
